"Kabaddi symbolises the spirit of the Punjabis and their quest for excellence in rural sports. At a time when the entire Sikh community is shell shocked with grief at the ghastly manner in which Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji has been desecrated, holding such a tournament is not appropriate," Badal said in a statement here.

"My feelings too have been outraged and my conscience is not allowing me to preside over a tournament at a time when the Sikh community in India and all over the world is in grief over the ghastly acts of sacrilege," Badal said.

According to the schedule, the inauguration of the event was to be held at Nehru stadium in Roop Nagar on 15th November while the closing ceremony was scheduled at Jalalabad sports stadium.
